When I came home from church on Sunday, I turned on the television in search of the Astros game. This year, there have been few — very few — occasions when they haven’t been on television here. Today, however, was one of those days. There was a college volleyball game on instead. That about sums […]

Astros fans will be wise to appreciate lefthander Andy Pettitte, who is nearing the end of his three-year contract in Houston. The veteran lefthander hasn’t committed to play next season, and he says he will have to pray quite a bit this winter to decide if he still wants to play. Pettitte’s signing with the […]
